Abstract
For the production of cloudy juices with stable cloudiness from plant products, the raw juice, is clarified in ultrafiltration unit (2) and is mixed as cold sterilized clear juice with the filter residue of a crossflow filtration. Here the filter residue serving as clouding agent is very finely crushed in crushing unit (1) before being fed into mixing device (4). Along with the filter residue stabilizing agents are also fed into mixing device (4), to prevent the agglomeration of the very finely crushed particles. Through the totality of the measures according to the invention a high degree of cloudiness stability of the cloudy juice is achieved.
